To round it up to rough cost and time span of a similar trip, what would you say my targets should be?
T.
The last two trips which I have run in the spring lasted just over 3 weeks.
This was ferry to Santander, cross Spain either quickly on the motorway like this year or quickly and see something of Spain like last year
We travelled extensively in Morocco with as many days on pistes as possible, (even more if I go again
) and a couple of days off the bikes.
I generally save a couple of 'emergency' days which if are not needed are used in the Picos de Europa on the way home
The two previous trips I ran the cost was £1500 for return ferry and outside cabin to Santander, return ferry from Algecieras to Ceuta and all accomodation, routes maps etc etc. On top of that, just fuel, drinks, carpets and food.
If I run another it will be similar but with even more off road, perhaps slightly shorter and a bit cheaper.
Someone like yourself Timpo could do it cheaper if you organised your own trip rather than have someone like me, but having a few good contacts in Morocco and knowing the routes does help.
Give me a shout if you want any info and we'll go for a trail ride (if I can keep up).
